Note that [1]} scale (their equation 10) by \(B=10^{8} {~\rm G}\)  and by \(\sin \delta = 0.1\) , while [2]} scale (their equation 10) by \(B=10^{10} {~\rm G}\)  and by \(\sin \delta = 1\) .
If the angular momentum loss timescale determines the time to the WD explosion then \(t_{\rm MED} \simeq \tau _{\rm B}\) .
